There were several crashes Thursday afternoon along I-70 west of Effingham. One of those crashes involved significant injuries.

The crash occurred at 4:56pm on I-70 eastbound, one mile east of St. Elmo. State police say a semi stopped in traffic for an earlier crash was rear-ended by a SUV.

The driver of the SUV, 47-year-old Matthew Doran of Ballwin, Missouri, was injured as was the driver of the semi, 57-year-old Randy Curtis of Limestone, Tennessee. Doran was taken to Fayette County Hospital in Vandalia, while Curtis was taken to St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham.
